FIND YOUR SIZE

Compare your body measurements with our SIZE GUIDE.
Since it is the skirt, rather than the whole dress, that has to fit your body for this pattern - use your waist and seat measurements when choosing which size to make.

The large back pleat is slightly adjustable by moving the placement of the buttons, in case you wish to have the waist width a few centimetres narrower or wider.
